Review & Swatches: bareMinerals the Magic Act

bareMinerals the Magic Act

Continuing on with the parade of holiday palettes, we have bareMinerals the Magic Act! For just $39, this palette offers 6 eyeshadows, 2 blushes, 1 bronzer, and 1 highlight shade all in an ultra-compact cardboard case with a magnetic closure. The shadows are neutral and flattering, with a nice variety of finishes and hues. While two can be found in a permanent shadow duo, the rest seem to be exclusive with this palette. Likewise, the blushes included are available individually, but the highlight is only available in a duo, and the bronzer is exclusive to this palette. All products are half the size of their typical retail sizes.

Overall, I think this palette is one worth checking out if you love neutral shadows, are looking for a palette that creates a full face on the go, or just want a solid sampling of bareMinerals READY pressed powders. Unlike some holiday sets where the product quality is compromised for the sake of offering a bargain, these perform beautifully to create a complete face. The only downside I could find with this palette was the lack of originality with the shades. Those that already have a lot of neutral shadows might not find this palette particularly inspiring, but it doesn't stop them from being as pretty as they are!
